"When (not if, but when) I hit the Rhode Island state lottery, I just might ask Aaron Edwards to be my personal chef. That's how impressed I am with his cooking skills. Twice I've eaten at Bistro 9, and twice I've been blown away by this chef's unique approach to food". Linda Beaulieu, SO RI, author of The Providence and Rhode Island Cookbook."

"...the appetizers were perfect...I opted for the Potato Gnocchi in a tomato, basil cream sauce that was amazingly delicate. The Rigatoni Bolognese was a delightful version whose every bite tasted of the slow-cooked meat sauce that is so rich it fills every ridge of the pasta" Gail Ciampa, Providence Journal Food Editor."

"First I want to THANK YOU for helping make my Mom's party a success. The food was absolutely FANTASTIC! Everyone is raving about it. I'm sure you'll pick up quite a lot of business from that!"

"Perfectly perfect party! The food was excellent! People are talking about how delicious the pizza, main dishes, and even the cake were! The room, decorations and service were outstanding! Thank you Ashley, Aaron, Hannah, and all of Bistro 9 for making our happy day even more happy! Love you!"”

“Dear Ashley,
You did a fabulous job for my friend's shower. You couldn’t have done anything better. She was thrilled and everyone raved about the Bistro 9.  I really hope somehow we can arrange to have our other 2 functions at your place too.  Thanks again for all the extra touches you provided. The personalized menu was great and the beautiful flowers on the table were just perfect. I think this was the first visit to Bistro 9 for a lot of the people who attended. I have a feeling you will definitely see the ones that live in the area again soon.  My friend Judy just loved it. It was actually through her that we heard about your place. It was a great suggestion.
 
Thanks Ashley and I am sure I will see you again very soon”

“Dear Ashley,
The shower was great- thanks to your help. I would not hesitate to recommend you to my friends.”
 
“My guests raved about the job you and your staff did at Bistro 9, everything was elegant and beautiful, the cake and cake stand looked amazing....my Dad was over-the-top thrilled with his party and the impression it made on his family and friends.  You made the room look gorgeous.
 
Bistro 9 staff could not possibly have been more accommodating to our guests, the service was impeccable.  We had one guest who was not physically able to go to the buffet by himself -- his wife was so grateful when Ashley immediately stepped in and brought him his salad, and later one of her wait staff stood in line to bring this gentleman his lunch.  To say the service at Bistro 9 was outstanding is an understatement.  And what can we say about Chef Aaron except that his dishes and presentation of food is better than most 5-star restaurants.  Everything was beyond delicious!”

“Ashley~
We want to thank you for the wonderful job you and Chef Edwards did for us, nevertheless at the last minute!  Everything was perfect, the food was excellent, and your attention to every detail did not go unrecognized!  We now know Bistro 9 was the BEST choice we made and will hopefully have future functions there.  We will recommend it to anyone that asks!
 
Thank you again, we appreciate all of your hard work!”

"Ordered Tornadoes of beef and osso buco. Both were outstanding. Friendly service. Will definitely go back"
 
"We are looking forward to the next time... We have already told several people"
 
"We went with two of the specialties of the house, and they were creative and delicious--combinations we would not have dreamed of. Don't let the location at a country club put you off. It's comfortable and masculine inside. Entrees are reasonably priced for this quality of food."
 
"We had a great time!! Can't wait to go back!"
 
"This place is fabulous... "THE CHEF ROCKS!" We had a crabcake appetizer that was presented really classy and they were a 10 in taste, and believe it or not, even the fish & chips were elevated in taste and presentation. I wish the owner the best, and I will be back!"

"The atmosphere was delightful and the food was tremendous."
 
"This was a delightful find, and we can thank Restaurant.com for leading us there. We dine out very often, will take a chance on a new place if Restaurant.com has something new, and found this new restaurant to have superb food, presentation, service--all the amenities of a much more experienced restaurant. Kudos to the chef!"
 
"Excellent food and service and exciting renovations happening."
 
"Food couldn't have been any better!!Excellent"
 
"We had a very nice time."
 
"OK, get past the bland exterior- the interior has been completely renovated, classy and comfortable. Wait staff are excellent and food is good and well-presented, but the big surprise is the value!! The parking lot was jammed when we arrived at 5:30pm on a Sunday night- good news gets around!!!"
